Apparently they were scanned using Omnipage. They're listed as, filename rtf style.rtf and when I enter on them they appear to open up in MS word. However, I'm unable to read them and all JFW seems to see are the page or section breaks. Previously I've not had difficulty in working with RTF formatted files from, for example, my PACmate. Any ideas what's going on here and how I could access the material? I'm using JFW 4.5 here by the way. http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.
